それがあなたの幸せとしても (sore ga anata no shiawase to shite mo) (Even If Its Your Happiness)

Megurine Luka's song 'それがあなたの幸せとしても (Even If It's Your Happiness)' delves into the complexities of personal happiness and the emotional turmoil that often accompanies it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a journey through life's challenges, starting with the imagery of children running barefoot, unafraid of getting wet. This symbolizes a time of innocence and fearlessness, contrasting sharply with the more complicated emotions that come with growing up.

The song explores the tension between personal desires and the impact they have on others. The lines 'あなたがかかえてるあしたはつらくはないか' (Is the tomorrow you hold not painful?) and 'それでもそのかたにやさしさをのせたなら' (Even so, if you place kindness on those shoulders) suggest a deep concern for the well-being of a loved one. The narrator questions whether the pursuit of one's own happiness might lead to suffering, both for themselves and for those they care about. This internal conflict is further emphasized by the recurring plea 'いかないでいかないでいかないでいまは' (Don't go, don't go, don't go now), highlighting the fear of losing someone to their own path.

The song also touches on the idea of unresolvable situations and the limitations of words. The line 'ことばだけがことばになるわけじゃない' (Words alone do not become words) suggests that sometimes, emotions and intentions cannot be fully expressed through language. This adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, as the characters struggle to communicate their true feelings. Ultimately, the song is a poignant reflection on the sacrifices and emotional struggles that come with seeking happiness, both for oneself and for others.
